Chapter 91: Basalt Glass (Ch 828695142)

The biggest gain for Chen Tong from attending the Mi 8 series launch conference was getting to know many outstanding talents in the supply chain and technology industries.
These talents not only possess very strong technical skills, but also have their own certain connections.
Although it doesn’t provide much help to Chen Tong now.
However, Chen Tong believed that if he encountered any problems in the future, he would be able to rely on these connections.
After the press conference, Chen Tong had a meal at the invitation of Lei Jun and then left the capital.
Now Chen Tong has basically shifted his focus to Huateng Semiconductor.
Now Huateng Microelectronics has gradually moved onto the right track. In the next few years of development, as long as it does not act recklessly, it will be able to maintain its current market position.
On the contrary, now is the most critical moment for Huateng Microelectronics to rise. The assembly of lithography machines and the construction of chip foundries are now coming to an end.
Subsequently, Huateng Semiconductor will gradually begin to conduct in-depth research and development in the field of chip foundry and gradually refine the development of Huateng Microelectronics.
In the future, Huateng Semiconductor will not only be a chip design company, but also be able to design and produce its own products.
Time has gradually come to May, and the Mi 8 series of mobile phones has received the attention and concern of most consumers as soon as they were launched on the market.
The regular version of Mi 8 has received support and recognition from many consumers. After all, its preferential price combined with the most advantageous configuration at present meets the needs of many cost-effective users.
On the contrary, the Mi 8 Premium Edition was met with a lot of criticism in the market after it was released and sold for half a month.
“3200 mAh battery, what on earth were you thinking, Rice Company? This phone ran out of power after only four or five hours of use. I have to bring a power bank with me when I go out!”
“Although this screen is amazing, the battery life is too bad!”
“And this hyperbolic screen is easy to touch accidentally if you’re not careful. I just dropped it on the ground by accident and broke the screen glass!”
Although the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition has a higher configuration, it is far inferior to the ordinary version in consumer evaluation.
The rice company has high hopes for this product, and even wants to use it to peek into the high-end market, but judging from the current market feedback, there are too many problems.
Among them, battery life and durability issues have become the biggest flaws of this product.
The 2k resolution electric tiger is matched with a small 3200 mAh battery. The battery life of a product that seems to have relatively excellent configuration is directly collapsed.
Secondly, this time, Rice Company also adopted a dual-curved screen design on its product.
Although it looks beautiful, it is also beautiful when it breaks into pieces when a collision occurs.
The problem of the hyperbolic screen being easy to break has also attracted the attention of netizens, but some netizens are very confused.
Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition. The hyperbolic screen is easy to break, so why is there no news about the screen being easy to break on the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition?
Many digital media instantly discovered this digital hotspot, and many digital bloggers began testing the two products.
After digital bloggers conducted one drop resistance test after another, they finally came to a very shocking conclusion.
Although the P20Pro uses a four-curved glass design, its drop resistance is much better than that of the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition.
Some digital bloggers even took the regular version of Xiaomi Mi 8 for testing.
According to conventional theory, the shatter resistance of a flat screen is much higher than that of a curved screen.
But the test results once again broke the netizens’ inherent impression.
The P20Pro’s quad-curved screen is even more resistant to drops than the regular version of the Xiaomi Mi 8’s flat screen.
This also made netizens truly realize that the external screen used by the Ju factory this time has its unusual features.
Soon, a professional evaluation organization conducted special tests on the screens used by the two manufacturers.
The final agency test results also shocked netizens.
This time, Rice Company uses the fifth generation of Gorilla Glass, and the hardness of the glass tested is 5.62 on the Mohs hardness scale!
But this time, the hardness of the screen used in the P20 series has reached 7.43 Mohs hardness!
This also explains why the P20 series screen is more resistant to falling and slipping.
“The hardness of the outer screen glass of the Ju factory this time is even stronger than that of Corning Gorilla Glass. To be honest, this is really shocking!”
Netizens were also surprised by this series of test data, and they were also very interested in the glass used by the Ju factory this time.
After all, at the P20 series launch conference, Yu Dazui did not give a detailed introduction to the glass used in his products.
Netizens never expected that the Ju factory also put a lot of effort into the glass outer screen.
Netizens have very high requirements for the durability of products, and this time the P20 series’ external screen did give them some surprises.
At the same time, after much exploration, the omnipotent netizens finally found the supplier of screen cover for the P20 series.
When netizens saw the name of this company, they were also stunned!
Huateng Organic Molecular Technology Company!
Looking at the first two words of this company, netizens now also remembered Huateng Microelectronics, a well-known top company in the field of screen panels.
Judging from the names, these two companies with similar names have a very deep connection.
Soon netizens finally discovered that the two companies are sister companies, and Huateng Microelectronics mainly produces screen panels.
Huateng Organic Molecular Technology Co., Ltd. is mainly responsible for material research and development. Its current main business is to provide a series of organic materials such as diodes required by major screen panel manufacturers.
The second largest business is the special production of corresponding tempered glass and customization of more glass cover panels.
The screen cover used on the P20 series of Juchang is the first generation of basalt glass from Huateng Organic Molecular Technology!
With the popularity brought by the P20 series, basalt glass has officially become a hot topic on the Internet. At the same time, Huateng Organic Molecular Technology Company has also received many calls from digital manufacturers.
The purpose of the digital manufacturers who called was very clear, which was to get the opportunity to buy basalt glass, and they also asked about the current price of basalt glass.
Flat screen, 60 yuan!
Hyperbolic surface, 120 yuan!
Quad-curved screen, 170 yuan!
The price of the screen cover announced by Huateng Organic Molecular Technology Company also surprised other manufacturers a little.
The price of the straight screen is almost the same as the current Corning Gorilla Glass, but the price of the dual-curved screen is 10 yuan more expensive.
As for the design of the quad-curved screen, Corning Gorilla currently has no public boards for sale. If you want to use a quad-curved screen on Corning Gorilla, it may require special customization.
The cost of special customization will naturally not be cheap!
